Time to Bid Adieu to Windows Vista?

Mar 19, 2017 | Uncategorized | 0 comments

If you use Vista, there is a bad news for you. Microsoft is done with Windows Vista and it is planning  to part ways. Vista wasn’t received well after its release and today only about 1% devices have Windows Vista. It does not make sense for Microsoft to hold on to Vista any longer. People prefer to use the latest versions of operating systems, not old and outdated ones.

Will Computers With Vista Still Work?

Yes, but it will probably be more vulnerable to viruses because Microsoft is not providing any new security updates. Inernet Explorer 9 is not supported any longer, so surfing the internet with this browser will also expose you to risks.  This means if you still stick to Vista, you will experience many problems. It is better to switch to a modern os. Microsoft also said that users might find applications and devices that will not work with microsoft Vista. This is because manufacturers of software and hardware optimize services for the latest version of Windows.
